My phone jolted as it buzzed against the table.My attention snapped from the direction of the director sitting across from me to the screen.Sebastian.My heart skipped.He wanted to meet up.Hopefully, it was good news.“So, Lydia, that was their proposal.”The director's voice cut through my thoughts.I looked up.He had just offered me another lead for the next show. The one before had been a huge hit, and apparently my performance had helped push the production straight onto the front pages of half the entertainment papers in the city.There had been interviews.Photographs.Reviews.For once, people were saying my name because I had done something right.Normally, I would have taken my time.I would have read the contract carefully. Asked questions. Pretended I knew what every legal word meant even though half of them were clearly written by lawyers who enjoyed making normal people miserable.But Sebastian was waiting.“Yes. Yes, I agree.”The director blinked.“You want to read

I had already tucked Jayden in for the night.The mansion was quiet now.The kind of quiet that came after a long day, when everyone had finally retired into their rooms and the hallways became still.Everyone except Sebastian.He was still in his study.I knew because that was where he always went when he needed to think. It was where he worked when the rest of us were asleep, where he disappeared whenever life became too heavy, and lately, there had been more reasons than ever for him to disappear.I sat on the edge of our bed and looked toward the closed door.He always came in when I was asleep and left before I was awake.That was how our nights had been for a while.But this time was going to be different.This time, I was going to listen to what Lydia said.Spice it up.Be bold.Make him remember.I had spent most of the evening thinking about those words.And after dinner with Lydia, I realized something.Maybe I had been waiting for Sebastian to come back to me.Waiting for h

Lydia's POV“Yeah, he liked it so much.”Isabelle's voice came through the phone, excited enough that I had to pull it away from my ear for a second.“Really?” I replied, still trying to fit into the dress I needed to wear for rehearsal backstage.“I think I'm finally getting the old Sebastian back.”I paused.My fingers stopped at the side of my corset.There was something in her voice I hadn't heard in a while.Happiness.Real happiness.She seemed proud of herself.And honestly, she should have been.Isabelle had gone completely out of her comfort zone and done something she normally would have been too shy to even talk about. From the way she was practically glowing through the phone, I was sure it had gone well.I forced a smile.“You are amazing, baby.”“I know.”I laughed.“Confidence. I like it.”“You told me to have confidence.”“I did.”“So I'm having confidence.”“Good. Keep having it.”She laughed.I finally managed to pull the final string through the back of the corset a

Mark had reserved a table for us at Carlos Kitchen.A five star restaurant that seemed to catch the eye of every tourist who came to New York.I had heard about the place before.Everyone had.The waiting list was ridiculous, the food was expensive enough to make a normal person question every decision they had ever made in life, and apparently people came here just to take photographs in front of the restaurant.I stood outside for a second before going in.Through the glass, I saw Mark already waiting.He looked completely different from the man I was used to working with.A cute suit covered his body, fitted perfectly around his broad shoulders. His hair was neater than usual, and for once, he wasn't wearing a costume or holding a script.He looked polished.Refined.Just like Sebastian.Fuck.I stopped myself.I had to stop thinking about him.I was on a date with Mark.Not Sebastian.I took a breath and walked inside.I was wearing a red dress with a thigh slit, simple but fitted

Lydia's POVI stood outside Andrew's Dish, a five star restaurant Isabelle had picked for our double date.The building glowed beneath the evening lights, its tall glass windows reflecting the city around it. Through the entrance, I could see waiters moving between tables and guests dressed like they had somewhere more important to be after dinner.I checked my phone again.Nothing.Of course, I was early.Isabelle had texted me after shopping with her two days ago that she was going on a little break with Sebastian, a date night of some sort, and she wanted Mark and me to be there.Her exact words were that it would be too quiet with just the two of them.I hadn't believed her.Not completely.To be honest, I thought it had been Sebastian's request.He had seemed pretty worked up about Mark when he dragged me into that damn closet at the store.And he had been smiling when I couldn't answer whether I liked Mark.The arrogant bastard.I crossed my arms.“Here, love. Aren't you cold?”
